Title: Looking for Dealership Information
Post by: LVN 67 on June 23, 2012, 05:22:55 PM

 I am trying to find any information about the Chevy dealer that originally sold my 67 L-35. The paper work I have shows Central Chevrolet Company, 235 Main, Grand Junction, CO.  Car was sold to original owner on 7-7-67. Anyone out there in the Grand Junction area remember this dealership? Thanks   :)

You might try logging onto this website to see if someone there can help out. The green '69 C10 PU was purchased at Central Chevrolet Company;

As of a couple of years ago Ed Bozarth owned the Chevy dealership in Grand Junction, it is possible that they are the same store and there is a small chance in #@!! they have old records of some sort. Stranger things have happened.

  I made a call to Bozarth Chevrolet a while back, not much help. From what I read on line, Central Chevrolet was owned by Charles Wilsea and Les Shellabarger.  Shellabarger must have bought out Wilsea, and built a new dealership in 1968?  Found some dealer #, zone # information for Shellabarger Chevrolet on a Chevelle website. I have had some e-mail correspondence with a couple of newspapers in Grand Junction, and they are looking through their archives for articles, pictures, etc.  The search goes on.   :)  This is like looking for that one last part that you need for your car!!!!
